I was planning to go with cortex rear suspension but I just saw someone put basically all the rear suspension including a watts link. All white line for 2,500$ He has
Lower control arms With brackets
Upper control arm
Watts link
And a sway bar

What do you guys think? Should I save and get Cortex or should I go with this deal on whiteline?
 
Price way too high. You could get all that for about $1k new aside from the watts link. So he's charging $1500 for the watts. A new Cortex one is cheaper than that! If you really want the Whiteline watts, I'd negotiate on that part only and then buy the rest of the parts new -- or negotiate the package price down. If you bought all of that new along with a new Cortex Watts you'd be looking at around $2,300.

FYI the Cortex watts is superior, but the Whiteline may be a little better for NVH and comfort. For the drag strip though, I'd say you're better off sticking with the bars -- they're lighter and more durable.
